A fluid line includes a pipe, a connector having a pipe connection arranged at one end of the pipe, and a through-channel through the connector, wherein the pipe connection surrounds a portion of the through-channel, and a heater structured and arranged within the pipe and the connector to heat at least a portion of the pipe and at least a portion of the connector. A flow cross section of the through-channel section at least on a part of its length is no more than 60% of a flow cross section of the pipe.

Fluid line

A fluid line including a pipe, a connector having a pipe connection, which is arranged on one end of the pipe, and an opening, and a heater arranged in an interior of the pipe. The heater includes a heater rod arranged to extend from the pipe into the pipe connection of the connector and out of the connector through the opening.

A connector for a heatable fluid line, includes a housing, a pipe connection structured and arranged for connection to a pipe, a connection geometry structured and arranged for connection to a connecting element, a through-channel extending through the pipe connection to the connection geometry, a heater outlet channel being arranged at an angle &#x3b1;&#x2260;0&#xb0; relative to the through-channel, and a ramp element having a guide surface arranged in the through-channel, and oriented to point toward the heater outlet channel.

Connector for a heatable fluid line and heatable fluid line

A heating device includes an electrical heat source for heating a fluid in a fluid line of a motor vehicle, and a heat conducting device which is in connection with the heat source. The heat conducting device is connected with a hose clamp for connecting the heat conducting device to the fluid line. The heat conducting device may include a metal strip, the one end of which is in contact with the heat source and the other end is connected to the clamp. This metal strip facilitates the heat transfer from the heat source through the clamp to the fluid line.
